last update publish date: 2026-01-27 21:11:19

The library had become Althea’s refuge when she’s in the Valtieri estate. It’s not because it was safe, but because it was predictable. Books did not lie and charts did not manipulate. Medicine did not demand loyalty in exchange for survival.

She sat at the long table with a medical text open in front of her, sunlight filtering through tall arched windows. Her pen moving in clean, precise strokes as she reviewed her patients’ charts, making her notes. Anyone watching her from afar would see com

  • His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride   CHAPTER 302

    The dining room of Blackstone had never looked so alive the following morning.For one morning, there were no traces of any blueprints spread across the long mahogany table.No discussions about bloodlines.No maps of the Valtieri Estate.No mention of Matteo.No mention of the Axis.Instead, green, bronze, and earth-colored balloons floated lazily beneath the chandeliers. Paper vines in different types, glittering, plain draped from the ceiling beams, weaving around banners that read:HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NICO!Tiny dinosaur footprints wound across the polished wooden floor, leading toward the birthday table where a three-tier cake waited proudly in the center that Michael had the Devereaux chef made.A volcano made entirely of chocolate stood behind it.Plastic dinosaurs surrounded the cake as though protecting it.Antonio had insisted the T-Rex should stand on top of the volcano.Michael argued that scientifically it should have been a Pteranodon.They had argued for fifteen minutes whi

    His words drifted off as Dominic captured her mouth into a hungry kiss, his hands running down her body, feeling her curves.Althea wrapped her arms around him, kissing her mouth and let his tongue traveled inside her mouth as their tongues clashed together.“Mmm..” She murmured at the back of her throat.Dominic’s one hand traveled underneath her skirt, going up her thighs, caressing her skin.Althea reached for his other hand as he gently pushes her towards the table by the window.“I love you, Althea.” Dominic murmured, kissing her neck hungrily.His fingers started to unbuttoned her blouse downward while his lips followed and started kissing once her skin is exposed. His other hand moved down to her ankle and he gently bend it upward.Pushing her skirt up, Dominic went down on his knees and started kissing her inner thighs. He spread her legs open and with one finger moved her underwear to one side, exposing her rosy folds.Without further waiting, he started to lap up her rosy, f

    The last dinosaur balloon refused to cooperate despite Dominic having it tied twice. However, it still insisted on drifting towards the ceiling fan.Enzo, who had briefly wandered into the dining room in search of a midnight snack, watched the balloon float lazily across the room before looking at Dominic."You know..." He started to comment wryly as he folded his arms. "...for someone who can dismantle an international crime syndicate, you're losing to a balloon, boss."Dominic looked up and glared at him darkly."It has a personal grudge, you a$shole." He snapped coldly.Althea let out a laugh from the other side of the room where she was arranging little paper dinosaurs along the center of the dining table."The balloon isn't the problem, Dom." She said softly.Dominic glanced at her."It isn't?""No." She answered as she smiled mischievously. "You tied the ribbon upside down."Enzo covered his mouth dramatically."Oh, this is painful." He commented.Dominic narrowed his eyes."I f

    A soft knock on the office hardwood door panel interrupted his thoughts.Three measured knocks that are not hesitant and fearful.Expected.Matteo looked toward the door."It isn't locked." He called out patiently.The handle turned and the heavy office door opened.A man entered without waiting for permission and immediately closed the door quietly.Tall.Dark-haired.A faint scar still marked his jaw.His prison uniform had disappeared and in its place was a charcoal suit tailored perfectly to his frame despite looking thinner.Aurelio.He walked inside as though he owned the office with hands in his pockets. The arrogance hadn't diminished despite weeks behind bars.If anything, it had sharpened much more.He looked down at the floor and surveyed the scattered blueprints, the broken pencil and the overturned chair before looking back at Matteo and letting out a smile."So." Aurelio started lazily. "It seems that prison wasn't the only place people were f8cking losing their tempers.

    Night settled over the financial district like a shroud.Forty-eight floors above the city, the lights inside the executive office of Valtieri Holdings still burned while the rest of the building had long emptied.Assistants had gone home, lawyers had left and board members have stopped calling.Only security alone remained.Matteo Valtieri preferred it that way.Silence had always been his greatest ally.It allowed him to think.To remember.To hate.The panoramic windows behind him overlooked a city his family had quietly shaped for generations.Banks.Hospitals.Shipping lines.Construction firms.Investment houses.Every tower represented another branch of Valtieri influence.Yet none of it mattered.Not tonight. He thought hardly as he looked across from his desk.The enormous mahogany conference table dominating his office had disappeared beneath layer upon layer of drawings.Ancient estate surveys.Original construction plans.Handwritten annotations.Garden layouts.Drainage s

    The conversation shifted naturally from discovery to planning.Dominic looked up and stared at the men in the room."The vault changes everything." He announced patiently.Everyone nodded."We move tonight." Enzo immediately spoke."No." Sebastian countered in disagreement.Ulysees blinked."What?" He asked. “Why the hell not?”Sebastian pointed toward the estate plans. "Gentlemen, we've waited decades." He started to reply and then paused, looking for the right words to say. "We can wait another day."Enzo frowned."And give Matteo more time?" He countered dryly."No." Sebastian answered as he shook his head. "We don't know if Matteo even knows where it is.""If we rush," Vincent continued to add in a low voice, “we could trigger whatever security Alessandro built when he discovered it."Michael nodded."And with Alessandro being the Keeper of the Axis," he noted as he looked around, “I’m definitely f8cking sure he also built safeguards.”Dominic listened quietly, allowing everyone t

    That made Dominic still.“What.”“The Valtieri heir does not happen by chance.” Seraphina started to explain. “It is already arranged and decided. It’s already secured.”A pause.“And if the chosen path fails…” Her eyes darkened slightly. “They’re going to create another.”Dominic’s expression hard

    Dominic did not sleep.The night dragged itself into morning, but for him, time never really moved.He remained in the lower hall, the dim lights casting long shadows across the floor, the silence pressing in from every direction.Blackstone was secure, the house settling after the ordeal that happ

    Dominic finally went back to the war room and the atmosphere immediately shifted with his presence.Enzo had already pulled more data from Luca’s system, projections cascading across the screens. Layers within layers, encryption wrapped around intent like armor.Michael stood close, tracking moveme

    The attack began before dawn.The sky was still wrapped in darkness when the engines started.Inside the motor court, three matte-black vehicles idled in silence, their headlights off. The cold air carried the faint scent of oil and damp earth as men moved with quiet precision around them.Dominic
